Our take on the BDI Avion 8927 Series II
by Crutchfield's Ralph Graves

The BDI Avion Series II lowboy cabinet rests on a sturdy stainless steel base and easily supports a flat-panel or rear-projection TV with a screen size of up to 60". With an optional Arena 9972 free-standing bracket, you can even mount your flat-panel TV above the cabinet without drilling into your wall.

Contemporary styling meets practical storage

The BDI Avion Series II lowboy cabinet rests on a sturdy stainless steel base and easily supports a flat-panel or rear-projection TV with a screen size of up to 60". With an optional Arena 9972 free-standing bracket, you can even mount your flat-panel TV above the cabinet without drilling into your wall.

Design features

Glass-panel doors elegantly show off your system and allow remote control signals to pass through to your gear. The center drawer has a cloth panel and can hold a center channel speaker in front, plus DVDs or Blu-ray discs behind its divider.

Concealed ventilation slots keep your gear running cool, even with the doors closed. Hidden wheels built into the frame let you easily move the cabinet away from the wall for cleaning your system or hooking up a new component.

BEAUTIFUL piece of furniture. Everything turned out to be as advertised: high quality, handsome and designed for AV use in every way possible. It's not inexpensive, however worth the price if you have the means.

Very nice cabinet; the weight capacity is somewhat overstated

Bob from Los Angeles, CA on 2/25/2018

Nicely made, well designed, looks pretty, holds up pretty well (I've had mine for about 12 years), except...
I had a very heavy 165 lb. 70" JVC DiLA set on there for almost a decade. Its weight was no problem according to both the specs and talking with the manufacturer, but after 10 years, there is a subtle but perceptible bowing of the top from the weight.
I've since replaced it with a 65" OLED that weighs significantly less, but of course there's no way the top is getting straight again. It's a subtle bowing, but it's there.
Expensive yes, but after 12 years it still looks great. As always, you get what you pay for.

It's ok. But that's all

markos from California on 11/29/2015

it's very overpriced. it's nice enough, but it's laminated wood. it's not at all what i would expect for how expensive it is. for the cost, there are much better solutions.

Well thought out, beautiful piece of furnature

BDI has created a beautiful and highly functional piece of A/V furniture. The cherry finish is stunning and the construction is solid. The ventilation, movable shelves, center speaker drawer, removable sliding back panels, not to mention the hidden wheels, make this a breeze to install and wire up your HT. You get what you pay for in this piece. Of course Crutchfield service and support was top notch as usual.

Excellent furniture

Attractive and well-made piece of furniture. The minimal assembly is pretty easy. Be forewarned that because it's pretty solid, it weighs quite a bit (about 200lbs I think). It ships in amazing packaging, I think they could have dropped it from a plane and it would have been fine. I went for the espresso color figuring in a dark home theater room it would blend in better. These are expensive units, but well worth it. The wood and the hardware (hinges, handles, legs, wheels) are solid and well-made. Their marketing says it's designed by electronics people, and I'm inclined to agree. It's designed for good ventilation and easy management of wires and connections. Very pleased.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what’s in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

The sides have dark gray windows on top and bottom. The center has a fabric insert on the top and a dark gray window on the bottom. However, the instructions say any of the windows can be replaced with fabric inserts and vice versa. You would have to contact BDI for cost and ordering instructions. I'll add that not only does this unit look incredibly good, I was absolutely amazed at the quality of construction and attention to detail. (In fact I need to write a review with that info.)
